Is 'App' the right lingo for SAFE?

You have it reversed. By definition, using “App” is the case where one is trying to be trendy. I wasn’t born with “App” in my vocabulary; I’ve seen it creep into popular use like a virus and it would be just as nice to see it crawl away as it’s not that genius of a term no matter what the folks at Apple think.

It’s ok to come up with your own thing if it is better than the current trend. Isn’t SAFE all about “coming up with your own thing”? Safe will have a learning curve for most people no matter what. Isn’t it better to clearly define terms to get people thinking in terms of the safenet, while treating the oldnet as a bad memory that should be forgotten?

I’m not quite sure what @goindeep means by “risk everything”… I’m not suggesting changing anything in code. The “safe_app” repo can stay named just as it is, maybe just change the “Authenticated Apps” heading to the “Safe Store” or “Authenticated #Whatever” in Peruse for whatever other marketing terms might arise out of probing in this direction…

Yes… nice clean pure water “droplets” or “drops” do have nice imagery with regard to “being safe” or “having safeness” but that the wording/terminology has largely been taken over by Digital Ocean.
